Well, I did finally get my swamp cooler up and running. Unfortunately, it's also leaking like crazy, so it looks like I'm going to have to get somebody in to take a look at it. Hopefully very soon, because it's starting to get really hot here!
I'm working on getting ready for next month's vacation, a cruise to Alaska with my mother and a bunch of her family. I've got my plane tickets, and I also went out and bought a new swimsuit, so I guess I'm pretty close to set. They'd originally planned this trip last year, before my stepfather got sick, but he was very insistent that if anything happened to him, he wanted my mom to go and do it anyway. Which I think is a really good idea, though I very much wish circumstances had been such that he was going instead of me. Anyway, it's a one-week cruise, but I'll be gone for closer to two weeks, as I'm spending a few days on either side in Vancouver, which is where the ship leaves from. My mother wants to see a bit of the area, my sister and her family are coming up from Oregon to see us before we go, and I've got a friend in Vancouver I'd like to spend some time hanging out with. All in all, it promises to be a very full vacation.
